"Values Voters"

OK, the election is over, and I need to shut up, but I admit that I have an absolute fascination with "Christian" conservatives and their whole mindset. I mean, here we have a sizable segment of the population of the wealthiest, most powerful nation the world has ever known, that believe that the earth was created in seven days 5000 years ago, and that the Bible is the literal word of God. It's absolutely amazing when you think about it.

I think it's just the absolute willingness to look beyond the truth and accept half-assed theories as "gospel truth" that fascinates me. That and the essential selfishness of these so-called Christians. It's all about THEIR way of doing things so that THEIR soul gets to heaven. And their certain knowledge that THEY are the only ones who will be saved.

And their insistence to portray themselves as the constant victim is pretty interesting as well. They are always whining about persecution, but given the chance, would love to be able to do a little persecution of their own.

Personally, I think it would be hilarious if Christ came back and told us all off, and said he wasn't coming back again until we got our act together. Of course, he'd have to spell out in tedious detail just how we were messing up, and even then the fundamentalists would probably find a way to kill him again.

So here's to you, Christian Conservatives: Living here in God's Country (where our biggest growth industry and technology driver is pornography)certain of the way to righteousness, and willfully ceding their God-Given intellect for the chance to feel superior to others. History, I am certain, will prove you as wrong and backwards as the puritans, but in the meantime the normal people have to deal with you.
